  1. It was said that ancestor David Maltzmann was an innkeeper and that Louis/Leiser delivered vodka to drunken priests who called him the "learned Jew". My question is whether the surname was derived from "beer brewer" or "beer purveyor". btw Em and all, there are a lot of Scottish Maltmans totally unrelated to us.

    1. I've probably looked up the name Malzmann before in Alexander Beider's book on Russian Empire Jewish surnames. But I don't recall the answer. ll check on my notes.
